    EdgeR Normalization Question

    I am looking to do TMM normalization in an experiment where you have to do pairwise comparisons between 20+ samples in replicates of three (A1, A2, A3 vs B1, B2, B3; A1, A2, A3 vs C1, C2, C3; B1, B2, B3 vs C1,C2, C3 and so on).
    I was thinking that I should normalize all the samples together and then do pairwise comparisons.
    I was wondering how I can get EdgeR to give me the TMM normalized values in a csv file.
    Thanks!

    There's actually no such thing as TMM normalized values. Normalization in edgeR is something that affects the fitted models rather than the data values. As the edgeR User's Guide says:

    "There are methods implemented in edgeR to normalize the counts for compositional bias in sequenced libraries and for diff erences between libraries in sequencing depth. These adjustments are off sets in the models used for testing DE and do not transform the counts in any way."

      Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
      by SEQadmin2


      I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.


      Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

      From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
      by SEQadmin2


      Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


      The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
